FOCUS DISTANCE IN THE AUTOFOCUS MODE
(Minimum Focus Distance)
The focus distance in the autofocus mode is described on the list below.
When the subject is closer than the minimum focus distance (0.4 m) or farther
than 40 cm in the close up mode, the focus lamp (green) blinks.
Lights The focus is determined and locked

• Do you attempt to adjust the focus on the
subject which is difficult to focus in the
autofocus mode ? (See page 37.)
• Is the subject closer than the minimum
focus distance (or farther than 40 cm in the
close up mode) ? (Refer to the followings.)
37
ADJUSTING THE FOCUS
THE SUBJECT THAT IS DIFFICULT TO FOCUS IN THE AUTOFOCUS
MODE
The autofocus mode uses the image contrast (the difference of light and dark
parts) on the CCD (Charge Coupled Device) to focus on. Therefore, with the autofocus mode, the focus may not be adjusted correctly on the following subjects.
In this case, use the focus lock function (see page 38), that you once focus on
the other subject which is at the same distance as the subject you want to take
the picture and change the image composition, or use the manual focus mode
(adjust the focus manually, see page 39).
The subject is too dark.
The subject has no contrast such as a
blue sky or a white wall.
Some subjects at different distances
overlap in the focus range.
The subject is too bright such as a
shining car body or a surface of
water.
38
ADJUSTING THE FOCUS
WHEN THE SUBJECT IS NOT IN THE CENTER OF THE FRAME
(Focus Lock Function)
When the subject is not in the center of the frame, the camera adjusts the focus

SPECIFYING THE IMAGE QUALITY MODE
This camera has 3 image quality modes; “FINE” (fine), “STD.” (standard) and
“ECON.” (economy).
The image quality is related to the compression rate of the image. The compression rate is higher in the order of “FINE” “STD.” “ECON.”. The higher the
compression rate is, the lower the image quality is. When you want high quality
images, select “FINE”. However, as the compression rate is low, the number of
the images to be recorded in the CF card is less than that in the “STD.” or
“ECON.” mode. When you want to record images in the card as much as possible, select “STD.” or “ECON.”. However, as the compression rate is high, the
image quality is lower than that in the “FINE” mode.
The compression rate, image recording format, image file size and the recordable number of the image using the CF card of 8 MB in each FINE, STD. and
ECON. are as follows.
* Refer to the image file size and recordable number as a guide. These vary according to
the scene or subject to be recorded.
The numbers in parentheses are the values when the image size is set to “HALF”.
